An Introduction to Ulesfia Side Effects

Just like any medicine, Ulesfia® (benzyl alcohol lotion) can cause side effects. However, not everyone who uses the medication will have problems. Some people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.

(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Ulesfia. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)

Common Side Effects of Ulesfia

Ulesfia has been studied extensively in clinical trials. In these studies, one group of people was treated with Ulesfia, and another group was treated with a lotion that did not contain the active ingredient (but had the same inactive ingredients). As a result, it was possible to see what side effects occurred, how often they appeared, and how they compared between the two groups.

In these studies, the most common side effects of Ulesfia included but were not limited to:

Skin irritation at the application site -- in up to 2 percent of people

Numbness or decreased sensation at the application site -- up to 2 percent

Pain at the application site -- up to 1 percent.
